missrosymaplemoth's review against another edition
4.0
The first book I’ve read that explicitly deals with OCD. I found Daniel’s symptoms and rituals relatable and would have loved this at a younger age. Daniel’s characterization and inner voice were clunky at times, as was the writing in general, but nothing that would keep me from rereading or recommending. I found the Sara storyline interesting and comparable to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.
